Definition of pantheism in English:

noun

Here, life is presented as purely immanent to itself and without a lapse into transcendent views of nature such as pantheism and animism.

Similarly, students could study, as part of their understanding of Western monotheism and Eastern pantheism and non-theism, different ideas about how the metaphysical acts upon and manifests in the physical.

I think they also feel threatened because this starts to get close to the more democratic religious beliefs of pantheism, wherein the divine becomes manifest in every-thing.
